Re: [e4-dev] CSS Editor & Contact Demo

[Tom Schindl <tom.schindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Providing an E4-CSS-Editor is a very important thing and something we
should target in the next release cycle.

IMHO the current problem with CSS is that there's no formal definition
which Attributes one can set.

My proposal would be to use xText to write an e4-CSS-Editor (I've been
thinking about this already a bit but for 4.0 the model tooling took all
my time) which would automatically give us an EMF-Model describing our
CSS-stuff whether we also use this model at runtime is something we can
decide on later.
